Support for multiple users

LinkAce now supports working with multiple users, which also includes a more advanced permission scheme as well as a new visibility setting for links, lists and tags (#165)

• Administrators can now control various system settings and invite new users.
• Links, lists and tags can now be public, internal or private, which controls the visibility to the public as well as logged-in users.
• Links, lists and tags are now displayed with the actual author so it’s clear who added it.
• Each user has its own API keys which can be used to work in the name of the user from third party applications. Additionally, admins can create system-wide API keys.
• Link checks are now run for each user individually. Users only get notifications about broken oder unavailable links they own.

Additionally, LinkAce now supports Single Sign On with OAuth or OIDC. 12 providers are already built-in, including one generic OIDC provider. Please consult the dedicated SSO setup guide for more details.

User Interface

• Overhaul of the user interface for a clearer structure, fewer inconsistencies and more readable lists. (#553)
  • LinkAce now has three redesigned modes for displaying links: compact, detailed and as cards. This setting can be controlled directly from the interface, no settings are needed.
  • The main navigation bar was adjusted so users need fewer clicks.
  • Lists and tags are now loaded up-front when adding or editing links. This speeds up the process and allows near-instant searches.
• Links, lists and tags can now be bulk-edited. (#26)
• Meta information was added for all relevant pages so your browser now displays more information. Contributed by chrissawyerfan4. (#494)
